Name: Ivybelle

Message: Flesh is frail. On earth the body dies before the human mind and spirit can reach the heights of experience and wisdom to accomplish something truly remarkable. As a result, we see around us juvenile people, childish nations, selfish concepts and a general lack of vision and benevolence. If we could extend the human lifespan by just a matter of decades without being curbed by the weak, ageing body, complicated by a toxic cocktail of degenerative hormones and enzymes, make fuller use of the dormant side of our brains, think what we can achieve for the good of not just all mankind but all sentient beings throughout our vast cosmos. Only then can we understand what life is all about and see what lies beyond the tips of our noses — and grow up, mature as the human being must surely be meant to. Then we can see how meaningless material wealth and struggle for power all are. We can live as long as we choose to, love forever if we wish to, and control our own destinies. That would be a giant leap in human evolution. That day must come — perhaps sooner than later. When it does, I hope I will be there — with the pioneer immortals… to help shape a new era in the great cosmos!! I am prepared to shoulder all the responsibility that such a privilege entails — the privilege of being able to grow in human consciousness.

This i what i wrote, thanking her:

Message: Greatings, IVYBELLE, Finding your beautifull contribution made me realy happy, the why you exspressed your thougts was the best argument for IMMORTALITY I have seen. Yes you will be there — with the pioneer immortals… to help shape a new era in the geat cosmos!!! Only the persuit of immortality will give mankind a goal to realy employ all the wonderfull new technologies being developt. Humankinds oldes jearning has always been immortality, that is what religion is all about. The way to reach that goal is by using GENE ENGINEERING and EXTRA TERRESTRIAL MIGRATION (off planet migration) dressed in the mantel of religion, because that is what has been the tool to guide our lives. Now is the time to give the most evolved spectrum of society a new and plausebel meaning, individual Physical Immortality. Yours is the energy it will take. Thank you!

IMMORTALITY SYSTEMS I.S. ®
Extra Terrestrial Migration — Gene Engineering

Eternal Life Society
Migrating to Infinite Space-Time.
“We Can Become the Engineers of Our Own Body Chemistry.
- In the Right Environment We Can Live Forever”

Once we get off the finite surface of the planet earth and are capable of living in potentially infinite orbital space, there is no reason to have a finite lifespan.

As engineers of our own body chemistry we can disable the genes that dictate the termination of our lifespan, as scientists have already demonstrated with plants and animals. There is no inherent limit to the “Lebensraum” (living space) in orbital space as there is on our planetary surface.

The life span of each organism is determined by the environment to which it has adapted.

The new environment will be our imagination which we can only fill if we live forever. We have to be immortal. There is no inherent limit to our imagination as long as there is time and space.

The incentive to be a member in good standing in society is the pursuit of immortality. Humankind’s social activity, ultimately its urge to mate, is an instinct, just like the instinct to live. If the purpose of society is to protect and enhance the wellbeing of its members, then providing the means to achieve immortality should be one of its highest priorities. The “New World” must provide individuals with access to the experts, the education and the means to achieve immortality.

The difference between our present world based on the formation and protection of family, tribe, nation and the “New World” is that the latter must have as its goal the pursuit of individual immortality
